US – Sebastian Salat has been selected as the recipient of AGEM’s Jens Halle Memorial Award honouring excellence in commercial gaming professionalism, and Alan Feldman has been selected as the recipient of the 2021 Peter Mead Memorial Award honouring excellence in media and communications.
“Sebastian Salat has been
travelling the world selling gaming machines for decades and was one of the few who could give Jens Halle serious competition over the years for international customer engagement and the placement of machines in casinos throughout world,” said AGEM President, David Lucchese. “We have always let the nominating criteria guide the selection of these AGEM Memorial Awards and I can’t think of a more deserving winner whose European base, global reach and overall career path mirrored those of Jens.”
